Retta has come a long way since last Wednesday...
We've gone from this wild woman (Day 2) ....
(Some may find the video below disturbing...and note - I sound completely invalidating).
(Believe me when I say - you don't want to see Day 1)
....to this little sweety (Day 4)!
"I'm ready for my ice cream and Nintendo!"
Now we are just waiting to get Retta off the Oxygen and to have her two drains pulled so we can GO HOME! (No pressure Retta). The drain output has significantly decreased over the last 12 hours however she is still requiring an 1/8th liter of Oxygen (a wisp) as result of remaining fluid on her lungs. The cardiologist is hopeful to pull the drains if not by this afternoon, by Monday morning. ...Most likely Monday morning! Then they will want to wait a good 24 hours and re-X-ray Retta's lungs to make sure it is safe to be discharged.
Little body in a big bed.
sending continued prayers and strength to you three! you sure have a sweet little spitfire on your hands!!! love the last picture so much. xoxo
